Article Synopsis
- Penetrating neck wounds are serious injuries that can lead to high rates of sickness and death.
- Researchers compared the effectiveness of the iTClamp, direct manual pressure (DMP), and Foley catheter balloon tamponade (BCT) in controlling bleeding from neck wounds in a controlled cadaver study.
- Results showed that both the iTClamp and BCT significantly reduced fluid loss compared to DMP and that the iTClamp was faster to apply, making it a beneficial option for managing severe neck bleeding.
